JAMES BUCHANAN AT COURT.
The Trouble He Had While Minister L"
England-His Court Dress.

The Trouble He Had While Minister to
England-His Court Dress.
While the dress question was still under
consideration parliament met and 1t was
as usual opened by the queen. Buchanan
received circular asking him to be
present and saying that no one would be
admitted who was not in full court dress.
The result was that Buchanan did not go,
and his absence called forth the comment
Of the newspapers. He writes home 10
the state department that he has deter
mined to wear no gold lace or embroidery
at court, Snd that he had expressed de-
sire TO the master of ceremonies to appear
at court in such dress as might be agree
able to the queen and still not be much
different from that Of the American citl-
zen. 1t was then suggested to Buchanan
that he might assume the civil dress Oh
George Washington. ''But," he says,
fashions have so changed that if | were to
put on this dress and wear it at one OF our
presidents receptions would be the SUBJ
ject Of ridicule for life," and further that
he considered it presumption for him to
affect the style of dress Of the father OF
his country.
His worry is shown in his letters to his
niece Harriet Lane, who was expecting to
visit him in England. He fears, he says,
that he shall not be invited to the court
receptions upon this account, and that If
he is not, he will probably be dropped by
London society in general, in which case
Miss Lane had better remain at home.
The day before the first levee of the queen
he writes that his appearance there in q
suit Of plain clothes will, he has no doubt,
produce quite a sensation and become q
subject of gossip for the whole court.
But he had, after this, another interview
with Sir Edward Gust, at whose Sug-
gestion he added q plain dress sword to
his ordinary clothes and thus solved the
difficulty.
He says, writing to Harriet Lane, ~
appeared at the levee on Wednesday last
in Just such q dress as / have worn at
the presidents one hundred times. A
black coat white waistcoat and cravat,
and black pantaloons and dress buttons,
with the addition OF q very plain black
handled and black hilted dress sword.
This TO crafty those who have yielded
so much and to distinguish me from the
upper court servants l knew that /
would be received in any dress that /
might wear; but could not have antici-
pated that should be received in so kind
and distinguished a manner. Having
yielded, they did not do things by halves.
As 1 approached the queen an arch but
benevolent smile Lit up her countenance-
as much as to say, You are the first man
who ever appeared before me at court in
such dress confess that never felt
more proud of being an American than
when stood in the brilliant circle in the
simple dress Of an American citizen"
This remained Buchanan's dress during
the remainder of his mission, and he was
one of the most popular foreign ministers
of American history. G. Carpen-
ter in American Magazine.

4 student I'm Paris.

The great principle is to do away Us far
as possible with the necessities in favor of
oil manner Of luxuries. A young French
man will like q miserable room in the
sixth story, with brick floor and no car
pet, and viii so without fire even in the
coolest days of winter, whereas, bypaying
twenty francs more in the month, he
might have a large comfortable room,
well heated, and two stories Hover down.
He takes the twenty francs thus saved and
invests it in q lottery ticket-that's q
great business, by the way, in France.
He will go without breakfast to have
money for the theatre, he will dine on I'M
wholesome food for o quarter, and pro-
coed to spend three or four francs in a
cafe for billiards and various drinkables
for himself and friends. He will some
times, regret to say, prefer spending two
francs fifty centimes for bright new era
vat to paying the necessary ten sous
which would entitle him to bath.-Paris

Canary Birds" of the Factory.

Here comes What's-hiS-name's canary
birds" was q street car remark of
thOughtless young man as a troop OF
bright young girls emerged from large
manufacturing establishment. 1t brings
q smile to the lips Of the little piece Of
femininity beside him. Such q funny
Joke to those little bits Of humanity. 1t
scarcely pays to be indignant with these
silly things, yet when one knows the
sterling worth Of many of these workers
it is hard to repress indignation. A group
of young men, no matter how lowly the
work, are never deemed objects Of deris-
ion. These girls, heroines many of them,
arc continually subjected to such taunts.
The writer, late one evening, called on
one of these canary birds" The hos
pitality of home-one room-was as graci-
ously rendered as though the cage was
gilded. 1t was the dinner hour. A little
table in one corner, n cup Of tea, bread
and butter. To have always just bread
and butter and tea! Two, and one an in
valid, to live on IS, or at most S4, a week.
The conversation turned to factory work.
II am never ashamed Of my own work,
though it was hard at first" This girl is
one of many who hurry from factory work
to cherries rooms and scanty meals, yet
they are self respecting and noble in their
endeayors.-NewO Orleans Picayune.

''why is marble cake so calledy"
''Marble cake is so called because it is

in Italy and imported here at great eN-
pense."
'sWhat's the idea Of that?'
Economy. It's cheaper in the long
run. You see piece Of genuine marble
cake will last long time. Now, here's
piece on this plate that has been in the

years ago this summer. Examine 1t

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's message
has probably excited more interest
and discussion than any like docu-
ment for years past. AS is to be
expected it pleases the Democrats,
but when radical Republican jour-
nails, the Chicago Tribune for ex-
ample, commend its craftsmanship,
there is hope that the present
order of things will soon be revers-
ed. The Tribune says: "Full JUS
tification of the Presidents unpre-
cedented course in devoting his an
nual communication to Congress
exclusively to to q consideration OF
the surplus is found in the message
itself. The message is able and
statesmanlike, business-like in
style, perspicuous in statement,
clear in its reasoning and irrefut-
able in its conclusions. The mes.
sage rises above party lines and
presents common basis Of patri-
otto craftsmanship on which Re-
publican and Democrats are bound
by every consideration of the public
welfare and of political expediency
10 stand together"
